Artist Profiles I

So Conan is going to replace Leno. Can't say I mind, Leno being the mouth of... well, you figure it out.

So I'm going to be doing some profiles this week on some of the people that I met at 2NMC last weekend. Up first is Stolie, a singer-songwriter from just north of Chicago, who now plays solo and with a group of two other women who call themselves Tres Femmes. I had the opportunity to see Stolie play in several different venues during the 2NMC, but the one that sticks in my mind was her rendition of a dirty little Irish folk song in the lobby of the DoubleTree Hotel, for these Irish tourists from County Donegal.

Tres Femmes played several showcases in Nashville last weekend, and I would have to say they were probably the stars of the conference, from a band perspective. Everyone knew who they were, when they were playing, and what they were about.

I was also privileged to have the chance to work with Stolie and Ken Voll from TMO on the first night of the conference, and between the two of them they somehow managed to take this conference newbie and make him a bit more confortable. More on Ken and Three Miles Out tomorrow.
